Calculations
Our current turnaround time is 10-12 business days
Section VIII Division 1 – Calculations
Calculations as a comprehensive resource to ensure compliance with the ASME code and to ensure that pressure vessels are designed and manufactured to meet the required safety standards.
There are many factors to worry about in designing a vessel, but Code Compliance should not be one.
Section VIII of the BPVC provides guidelines for the design, construction, and inspection of pressure vessels. Division 1 specifically addresses the rules for the design and fabrication of pressure vessels that operate at pressures exceeding 15 psi (pounds per square inch) and have a maximum allowable working pressure (MAWP) exceeding 300 psi.
- Software we use
- Solidworks
- Codeware
- AutoCad
Within Division 1, the “Calculations” section is a critical part that outlines the methodology and formulas to be used in designing pressure vessels. It covers various aspects, such as determining the allowable stresses for different materials, calculating the thickness of vessel components, assessing the integrity of welded joints, and evaluating the structural stability of the vessel under different operating conditions.
The calculations specified in Section VIII Division 1 are essential for ensuring the safety, reliability, and compliance of pressure vessel designs with industry standards. They consider factors such as internal and external pressures, temperature, material properties, and load conditions to determine the appropriate dimensions and design features necessary to withstand the operating conditions.
Do you need a Drawing to accompany the Calculations?
J Lowry is owned, operated, and staffed by Ex-Authorized Inspectors and Authorized Inspection Supervisors with the extensive knowledge and expertise to keep you and your design out of hot water (unless we are designing you a boiler, then that’s kinda the point)
With decades of hands-on industry experience and state-of-the-art design software, we can help trim the fat from any design so that you can rest assured that you are building the leanest and most cost-effective vessel possible.
With over 40 years of experience in the ASME Code and manufacturing experience, consulting can range from helping to understand parts of the Code to help with project start-up, welding, design, quality programs, In-House NDE Certification and much more.
